I find all this computer technology very fascinating. I'm old enough to remember life before the internet and I can't imagine going back to that time. Applying this to education is a challange. There is just so much out there and so many websites to go to that it can be overwhelming. How many facts should I teach vs. should I just teach how to find the facts. If you don't know that the Civil War ever existed, how will you know to search for it. On the other hand, if I don't know how to find out about all the details, my understanding will be quite limited.
Quite a dilema.
A fence on which it is difficult to balance, a fence which is constantly changing height.... yes, a dilemma, a very big dilemma.
